....and she muses about trees when her mind is not busy stuck in a computer lol  I am nothing more these days than reaching out soaking in everything I see growing to be sure or so it seems but I have no friends no enemies either no I just have no time day and night I funnel knowledge nonstop growth until I my leaves on top feel ready to drop yet my roots hold me tight but have you ever seen a tree that lifts up its skirts and just walks away? that is my dilemma and just how did I get to be a tree anyway that everyone leans on I am strong? I am shade and comfort from the heat I am shelter? my bows almost break from the effort of caring I am nurture? when do I let go so they may form roots of their own when do I mature enough to stand alone? I am thirsty too who waters me? do things ever get to be too much for a tree I mean do you think they ever have had just too much have you ever seen a tree that just up and walks away? |

corazan, this is really a fantastic metaphor.... your writing is haunting and so full of imagery and emotion.... this one has a distrubing quality about it.... i know how all of this feels.... somehow i'm not surprised that you would again write something that touched me so deeply.... i identify with this one so much... i wish i wrote this... it is a fine piece of work.... will write later today |

Corazon, another amazing piece by your pen. Maybe just upping and walking away to a new forest is what you need to do. We got wonderful forests in Canada....  Great poem Parker |

Take it one step further and the poor tree becomes a computer manual...guess that means I was once a tree, so you myst have been as well...so how many trees are now writing poetry...hmmmm...I hate it when you make me think...

I really like this poem very much, all us trees have to be planted by the river of life, and be rooted in the rock. I like your analogy as it can be so true. |

Your roots grow deep and strong in this one. Wonderful creation and a real pleasure to read. Allow me to water the ground around you. |

Great job, Twiggy. *EG* (See... that's what you get for doubting you have friends... *G*) I didn't hate you for being a one and only... and I didn't even hate you for being so damn gorgeous!!! *G* But I'm going to have to hate you if you keep writing so well... jealousy is such an unattractive attribute! LOL |

I am SO glad you brought this one back. I HAE it when one of yours gets by me! I've always considered you a tree, Corazon. Beautiful limbs, subtle bark, roots untouched by Clairol and squirrels can find a home in you. If you ever need a little sap, call me I wish for the day you are a Royal Palm and not a weeping willow  The poem is terrific..... |
